| 0:55.1 | Hello and welcome to wrong turns. This is a podcast where Dignity Goes to Die. I've already had my own wrong turn this morning in having spilled chocolate cake all over my white bedding of a hotel room that I'm in that I knew the cleaners were just about to come into. I don't know about you, but I'm very intense about wanting to make sure that the, like I'm a big pick-me for anyone who's cleaning a room that I'm in. I want them to think |
| 0:59.8 | I'm the cleanest girl in the whole wide world. And now it, I mean, it looks unmistakably like there's |
| 1:06.3 | shit all over the bed. And so I had to go around making notes saying not poo not poo not poo all over my |
| 1:12.6 | bed and then leaving $20 notes on every sign and that's why I was late today so I'm sorry |
| 1:17.2 | you don't you don't think they would have figured that out well what are they going to do |
| 1:23.1 | scratch and sniff I don't think I think that's above their pay grade. No, I have children. And |
| 1:28.5 | and so I have walked into rooms that are both filled with chocolate cake and filled with shit. |

He co-hosts the new hit comedy podcast about men's health called Staying Alive. It's Adam fucking Pally. Yay! Round of applause. Just me on my own. Cool. |

| 2:05.4 | And we also welcome an actor, writer and comedian who's named one of the new faces |
| 2:09.0 | of comedy at the Just for Last Festival and one of the comedians you should know and |
| 2:12.6 | will know by New York Magazine. You can watch his new series, Adults on FX and streaming |
| 2:17.0 | on Hulu. |
| 2:14.7 | It's Malik Elisal. Hello. Hi. Thank you. The energy in the room, guys. Calm the fuck down, will you? I just want to peek the levels of the mic. That's incredibly considerate. Yeah. I'm thinking about people at home. The producer's cell phone's going off. This is like who's... It's a fucking wrong turn. |
